modify vendor in purchase order

[Former Member]

Hi!

I have a purchase order created. I am trying to change the vendor in the purchase order (I try to delete it form the Partners tab and to enter another vendor) and I can't. The vendor line partner NV can't be deleted. It is possbile somehow to change the vendor on a purchase order already created.

Thanks!

You cannot delete or change a PO vendor if partner schema is set to "No Change".

To solve the problem, you need to kill the PO. Just delete all line items of the PO and save. If theere are GR's, reverse them first. Then you need to recreate a new PO using a new vendor.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can not change the vendor in PO after save.

To change the vendor in PO first you have to Close the Purchase order using me22n and reverse the all follow on documents exists.

Set Delivery completed indicator for all the po line items and block the po line items for further processing.

Hi,

Normally, you can't change the vendor number any more after PO saved! If you have to change, you should create a new PO again!

BTW, you can change it by a special ABAP program! It's a trick, not standard solution!

Good luck

You cannot do that, You should cancel that PO and renter it after making the necessary changes in teh vendor master or before saving the PO

OK; but how can I cancel the purchase order? what should I do?

Delete all line items on the PO, if it has any dependencies, I would advise removing them too.. I.e. If it has a GR on it.. reverse it as well and then delete all line items on the PO..

First you Close the Purchase order using me22n. If follow on documents exists reverse the same.

Set Delivery completed indicator for all the po line items and block the po line items for further processing.

Then create a new purchase order and change the partners asper your requirement.
